Tynwald is said to be the oldest continually running Parliament in the world, with records going back to 979 A.D. Some evidence suggests it goes further back, as a council the raiders used during the 800s, but there isnt much to support this so 979 is the best date to use.
Note: There are Parliaments older than this, but they arent continually running..i.e the Icelandic and Faroese parliaments.
